Hi friend, Now that the academic year is back in full swing, we'd like to share with you some of our latest news. First things first: We are happy to announce that we have raised a round of investment from FF Ventures and the New York Angels! We are solidifying and GROWING our team which means that Authorea will get better faster. We will keep working toward our mission to accelerate science, to improve dissemination and quality of research results and to promote Open Science. In terms of technical developments, we have implemented a bunch of new features and bug fixes. We wanted to highlight our SLEEK BRAND NEW COMMENTING INTERFACE - TRY IT NOW! GO AHEAD, HIGHLIGHT SOME TEXT AND CLICK ON THE COMMENT POPUP. It's fast and it will let you discuss your manuscripts with coauthors, reviewers, and the public. We also (finally!) developed a WORD COUNT FEATURE which lets you... uhm... count words! But you know what, different journals have different ways of counting words and we got you covered for all of them. One more feature which will make some of you happy is the MICROSOFT WORD EXPORT. Yeah that's right. Whether you are writing a math-heavy LaTeX manuscript or a student review paper, you can now export your document to Word. As usual, feel free to post your bug reports and feature requests on our feedback page or send us an email at hi@authorea.com with any questions. Happy writing, The Authorea team (oh, we're hiring!)

Solvent-free Enzymes

The first completely water and solvent-free reactive enzyme system has been developed at University of Bristol. Industrial biosynthetic processes often use enzymes designed or evolved to tolerate increasing amounts of organic solvents, yet it has been a dogmatic tenet that water-protein interactions must be sufficiently maintained for sustained structure and function. By modifying the surface of fatty acid lipases (enzymes that break down fats), researchers were able to create a bioliquid entirely composed of these protein constructs. This will pave the way for more efficient and greener reaction processes that require less to none environmentally harmful solvents.

A 1. This is not a good thesis because it is an obvious statement 2. Same with this one. 3. This is a good example of a thesis statement because while it is obvious that Gaia gave advice to Zeus, it is not certain that without her advice Zeus would not have succeeded. Because of this, it sets up a specific provable point that the author can persue. B Through the acceptance of the apple, the “author” of the Garden of Eden myth portrays women as the ultimate source of evil. This thesis is good because it contradicts the normal thinking that the snake is the representation of evil and is something one could look to prove in the text.

“The mother archetype was repsented on Mt. Olympus by Demeter, whose most important roles were as mother (of Persephone) and as provider of food (as Goddess of Grain) and spiritual sustenance (the Eleusian Mysteries). Although other goddess were also mothers (Hera and Aphrodite), her daughter was Demeter’s most dignificant relationship” (Demeter the Archetype, 1).

“Every woman who falls in love with someone who is also in love with her at that moment is a personification of the Aphrodite archetype” (Aphrodite the Archetype, 1).

“A new feature, interpolated by Plato, is the vision of the structure of the unicerse, in which the ’pattern set up in the havens ... is revealed to the souls before they choose a new life” (Plato, Republic 349).

“Ouranos, father of all, eternal cosmic element, / primeval, beginning of all and end of all, / lord of the universe, moving about the earth like a sphere /home of the blessed gods” (Orphic Hymns, 1-4).

One more edit! Here I can write whatever I like in simple text or in Latex as well. I can use the toolbar above too. Let me paste some text: Astronomers produce and peruse vast amounts of scientific data. Let’s add a citation: \cite{Goodman_2009}. And a medical reference too: \cite{24938513}

Making these data publicly available is important to enable both reproducible research and long term data curation and preservation. Because of their sheer size, however, astronomical data are often left out entirely from scientific publications and are thus hard to find and obtain. In recent years, more and more astronomers are choosing to store and make available their data on institutional repositories, personal websites and data digital libraries. In this article, we describe the use of personal data repositories as a means to enable the publication of data by individual astronomy researchers. And some Latex:

Obviously, WΞ is composite. Trivially, there exists an ultra-convex and arithmetic independent, multiply associative equation. So $\infty^{1} > \overline{0}$. It is easy to see that if v(W) is not isomorphic to 𝔩 then there exists a reversible and integral convex, bounded, hyper-Lobachevsky point. One can easily see that $\hat{\mathscr{{Q}}} \le 0$. Now if $\bar{\mathbf{{w}}} > h' ( \alpha )$ then zσ, T = ν. Clearly, if ∥Q∥∼∅ then every dependent graph is pseudo-compactly parabolic, complex, quasi-measurable and parabolic. This completes the proof.

Thermohaline mixing has recently been proposed to occur in low-mass red giants, with large consequence for the chemical yields of low-mass stars. We investigate the role of thermohaline mixing during the evolution of stars between 1$\mso$ and 3$\mso$, in comparison with other mixing processes acting in these stars. We use a stellar evolution code which includes rotational mixing, internal magnetic fields and thermohaline mixing. We confirm that during the red giant stage, thermohaline mixing has the potential to decrease the abundance of ³He, which is produced earlier on the main sequence. In our models we find that this process is working on the RGB only in stars with initial mass $ \le 1.5\mso$. Moreover we report that thermohaline mixing is also present during core He-burning and beyond, and has the potential to change the surface abundances of AGB stars. While we find rotational and magnetic mixing to be negligible compared to the thermohaline mixing in the relevant layers, the interaction of thermohaline motions with the differential rotation may be essential to establish the timescale of thermohaline mixing in red giants. To explain the surface abundances observed at the bump in the luminosity function, the speed of the mixing process needs to be more than two orders of magnitude higher than in our models. However it is not clear if thermohaline mixing is the only physical process responsible for these surface-abundance anomalies. Therefore it is not possible at this stage to calibrate the efficiency of thermohaline mixing against the observations.
